Teacher husband is jailed for grooming two schoolgirls and taking one’s virginity in woods during lunch break

A VILE married science teacher who had sex with two teenage pupils he ruthlessly targeted has been jailed for 32 months.

Evil Bruce Karwoski, 53, was locked up for grooming the girls for sex - but his wife has vowed to stand by him.

Judge Rupert Overbury told shamed Karwoski said he had committed a "gross abuse of trust".

The judge added: "You owed a significant duty of care to the victims, their families and the school.

"I have no hesitation in determining that a sentence of immediate custody is necessary and proportionate because of the circumstances of the case and as a deterrent to others in a similar position of trust."

Karwoski touched one of the girls intimately in a classroom.

The paedophile took a blanket when he drove her to a wood during lunch breaks as he ruthlessly took her virginity, the court heard today.

The victim told police she had sexual contact with Karwoski during free periods, after school and at dinner time.

She had even worn dresses and skirts to "make it easier", said prosecutor Edward Renvoize.

Physics and chemistry tutor Karwoski indecently exposed himself to her on a webcam and urged her to take all her clothes off.

The pervert, who taught at Northgate High School, Ipswich, sent her a story in an email describing what he was doing to her and what she was doing to him.

Karwoski broke down and cried when the girl tried to end their relationship, said Mr Renvoize.

At one stage a school lab technician spoke to the deputy head after spotting the twisted teacher and the student spending time alone in a closed, unlit classroom.

Karwoski was spoken to but no further action was taken, said Mr Renvoize.

The sicko initially exchanged emails with a second girl as they discussed schoolwork and problems he was having at the time.

But the exchanges quickly became sexual and Karwoski arranged to meet her in a field near Westerfield.

He kissed her before they ended up having sex in the back of his car.

Their illicit affair only ended when the youngster called it off.

The offences emerged last year when one of the girls contacted the othergirl and asked her what had happened with Karwoski.

They realised they had both had sex with the serial predator and alerted the school, Ipswich Crown Court heard.

Karwoski, of Creeting St Mary, near Needham Market, Suffolk, admitted 13 offences of sexual activity with a girl aged under 18 while in a position of trust.

The charges date back a number of years, but the dates, as well as the ages of the girls, cannot be published to protect their anonymity.

He said he had groomed his targets to have sex with them.

"You have accepted what you did was wrong and should never have happened," said Judge Overbury.

He said Karwoski had put a significant amount of planning into the offences and used encryption software to prevent emails between him and one of the girls being read.

As well as jailing him, Judge Overbury ordered him to sign the sex offenders' register indefinitely.

Nicola May, defending, said Karwoski accepted his behaviour was "completely unacceptable" and had caused upset and distress to the girls involved.

Miss May said: "He should have known better."

She said the offences had happened during a difficult period in his life and Karwoski would never work with children again.

Miss May said his family was horrified but were standing by him and his wife, who is also a teacher at Northgate, had attended court hearings with him.

She said Karwoski had been a teacher since 1989 and held a "high reputation" within the school.

Miss May said aspects of his work had resulted in an outstanding Ofsted rating.

She said Karwoski didn't have an attraction for teenage girls and hadn't had age inappropriate relationships before.

Last night David Hutton, headteacher of Northgate High School, said: "On behalf of the school I apologise to the two young women affected and commend their courage in bringing allegations forward, acknowledging how distressing having to cope with such a situation must have been.

"On receipt of the original allegation the school took immediate steps to make the Local Authority Designated Officer and police aware.

"All advice and procedures were subsequently followed and we have co-operated fully with the police throughout their investigation.

"We have no reason to believe any current pupils are affected.

"However, the school takes safeguarding very seriously and is committed to being a safe place for all.

"We continuously strive to reinforce an atmosphere where those in our care feel able and safe to talk about any worries, with staff who listen carefully and take concerns seriously."
